Adventures in Babysitting
Touchstone Pictures
1987 - Rated PG - 1 hr 42 min
Director: Chris Columbus
Starring: Elisabeth Shue, Keith Coogan, Anthony Rapp, Maia Brewton
Oh, Elisabeth Shue! I love love loooove this movie, and it's one of the few that still hold up after 20 years. Outrageous 80's hair and fashion aside, this movie is a great one.
Rent alum Anthony Rapp plays the annoying teenage neighbor, which is just hysterical. During the scene where they get trapped and stage and sing the blues, you can kinda hear Mark in there somewhere... And did anyone else know that the mechanic/Thor guy is Vincent D'Onofrio? Seriously!
This movie also has the best "singing in her bedroom" opening ever filmed, just sayin'.
If you haven't watched this one recently, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how much fun it still is... even as a grown up. This movie was another unopened one, after a year sitting on that shelf. See? Movies like this are the reason I'm doing this project.
